I am at the Palais De Sex Positions!

"the sequel to our really successful normal single player thing is a multiplayer roguelike" and I get the one piece haki premonition of someone dying

Persona 5 space palace final boss is such a piece of shit, so much so that I fist bumped when the post-boss fight thing happened. Rest in piss forever.

Outstanding work all around

One from me.

EA's takeover, the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund, and "vanity mega projects": Human Rights Watch assesses the impact of gaming's latest controversy www.eurogamer.net/eas-takeover...

a spokesman for BrewDog said 'this is the one thing we didn't want to happen'

Yeah fuckin me too babe

$5 a month gets you access to the Skybox Discord and allows you to support good games writing. 6 months of that is one month of Game Pass, and I promise you'll have more fun. www.patreon.com/SkyboxCritics

Like, the game is so cash and the idea that the studio with decades of MMO and survival game experience needs to restructure to refocus to that is so weird. More likely despite its massive early sales there's unhappiness around current popularity? Sad news.

The 15 remaining Luna-tics on the Luna Gaming SubReddit waking up from a deep slumber like the Dark Souls 3 Abyss Watchers, rock fucking hard.

Wait I forgot Blue Protocol: Star Resonance comes out this month, in like 6 days!

This is fucked

I mean that Teemo trailer is great but the character looks so rancid they nailed it

EA privately acquired in $55bn deal by group of investors, including Saudi Arabia's investment fund and Donald Trump's son-in-law www.eurogamer.net/ea-privately...

Wow this Xbox stream is a little dry huh

Make it a new Let it Die and my soul is yours

Amazing

Kind of bold of Riot Games to announce the 2XKO early access release date on the same day as the Rapture. But then again, with Teemo coming it does make sense.

Five new characters a year for 2XKO is on the high end of what I expected to be honest! The challenge is whether these characters maintain that level of complexity with a set deadline. Also would be keen to find out how many people hop in during the early access launch

I am years late to the party but in Temtem they give you a traversal mechanic then almost immediately take it away from you as part of the story and apparently don't give it back until *two* whole regions later.

You should also consider supporting @skyboxcritics.com, just saying. Help us pay our writers (a very diverse group from all over the world) write cool things about games/TV/film and so on.

Finished Hell is Us. This game is ripe for a "true ending" for sickos and from what I hear it doesn't have one. Pretty good!

Hell is Us is a lot of fun (and big sad times) but it does the progress-failable side quest thing which I'm sure is part of the game's themes but also attacks *that* part of my brain

We're shortstaffed on RPS and need some rad PC-minded freelancers for urgent review work. Specifically: - Borderlands 4 (yes I know it's out already) - Dying Light: The Beast - Silent Hill f Standard rate is £200 GBP per review, make yourselves known at [email protected]

Me pictured learning about that Dualshockers Silent Hill f thing lmao

Randy Pitchford is clearly at the David Cage level of PR poison but in a far funnier, less French sort of way.

This sucks

2XKO out in 8 mins and I'm off to the hospital lol

Bit of personal news: after four years, I've been let go from @thegamerweb.bsky.social and am a free agent! If you need someone with half a decade of TCG and tabletop and over a decade of video game coverage experience, please get in touch at [email protected]!

This is absolutely wild

After three and a half years as Head of Games, I'm sad to say I will be leaving BAFTA on Friday 12th September. Due to some recent internal changes, the Head of Games role is being discontinued and so I will be moving on to pastures new.

The fighting game scene is desperate for financing - but that same financing might ultimately kill it. Opinion: The Saudi takeover of fighting games' biggest tournament means players - and the community - have a choice to make: between its culture and a payout. www.eurogamer.net/the-saudi-ar...

Rot 13 Silksong spoiler Everyone responsible for Ovyrjngre needs to go to prison.

I feel like 90% of Silksong's difficulty so far is being patient and being able to recognise what attack is coming out based on its wind up animation.

If you are scared of competing with Hollow Knight than don't make Hollow Knight. If you're an indie dev and you're not making a profit releasing at 20~30 dollar pricepoint you are overscoped.

Here's a question: If you've got 6 pips of life, but every time a boss smacks you 2 pips are lost, do you even have 6 pips of life?

The PlayStation store still lists Silksong as wishlistable and not buyable, not even Team Cherry can get a game on my PS5.

Silksong causes server chaos on Xbox, Steam, and Nintendo as platforms grind to a halt www.eurogamer.net/silksong-cau...

I somewhat recently got an Evo Tattoo lol

Evo's owner RTS now fully acquired by Qiddiya. Opens up a lot of questions about its future especially at a time of worldwide expansion for the brand.

My turn for a career update. After an exceptional 3-4 years at VG247, I'm now filling the boots of Senior Guides Writer at Eurogamer. James, Rebecca, and Sherif will continue to provide your VG247 fix, so please endeavour to support them. Some of the best people in the biz!

It's peak I'm afraid

FGC never had morals or a backbone a day in their life, the community is only capable of pushing back against the lowest stake issues and only on rare occasions, I don't trust any FGC person with a connection to stand on shit because they all want to keep their connections. Clout is currency.

Uh oh. Someone pressed a button too early

My favourite part was when Wargaming made a tank do the Akira slide and no one reacted
